The Actor Who Plays Hodor Just Came Out: “I’ve Been Waiting For Someone To Ask”
"I’ve tried to lead the questions a few times, to no avail!" Kristian Nairn said in an interview with a Game Of Thrones fan site.
It seems to be the morning for Game Of Thrones news.
In an interview with GOT fan-site winteriscoming.net, Kristian Nairn — the man behind everybody’s favourite Hodor, Hodor — was asked about the following his character has in the gay community, specifically amongst the “bear” sub-community. And his answer was excellent. “Well, in all honesty, when you talk about ‘the gay community,’ you are talking about my community, haha,” he said.
“I’ve never hidden my sexuality from anyone, my whole life in fact,” he continued. “I’ve been waiting for someone to ask about it in an interview, cos it’s not something you just blurt out. I’ve tried to lead the questions a few times, to no avail!”
“I had an upbringing to respect other people’s privacy, and their right to be and choose what they want, and I expect, no, demand no less for myself,” he said. “It’s a very small part of who I am on the whole, but none the less, in this day and age, it’s important to stand up and be counted. I have and always will stand my ground. So, yeah, people have been great, on the show, but I don’t see why it would be an issue.”
In the interview, Nairn also talked about charging $5000 for piggyback rides, and how he moonlights as a popular DJ in Ireland. He describes his musical style as “Chunky, Deep, Dark, Always with Attitude”.
